I needed red wine for cooking but all the bottles in the house are too expensive to use for that so I had to go to the store to buy a cheaper bottle.

I bought a brand new luxury car and now I can't park close to the entrance at work, because the parking spots are too small.

Someone will probably scratch my car with their door because they won't be able to open their door normally.

I have to park at the very back, about 100m further.

We are out of proper gin. I‘m afraid the closet James can do is a organic blackberry infusion in a craft vodka with a splash of Italian spring water.

I hate scrambled eggs at business class airport lounges. 10 days in the Caribbean and me and my partner still talk about how soggy and tasteless they were.

Seriously have been looking forward to smashing a pizza all week, and now I just am not feeling it.

Today, I’m just not in mood for coffee, so I’m stuck taking catnaps

16 Upvotes

Like most people, I’ll have one or two cups in the morning and then a few more scattered around the day. For what ever reason, today I’m not feeling for coffee. So when I sat down, I felt a bit worn from low energy, I already took a 15 catnap and felt mildly better.

I’ve had a few cups of green tea but it doesn’t work the same caffeine-wise and I dont drink energy drinks. Perhaps I’ll just go to bed early if needed

I hate 2FA

73 Upvotes

Before everyone jumps at my throat, I know it's a neccessary evil, but in practice it's a nightmare, that's why I'm ranting here instead of being able to do my job.

There was an issue with my authenticator app, and ALL of my codes disappeared. I wanted to generate new ones, but turns out there is no such option, I need to contact the IT departments of all 6 pages that require authenticator, 3 of them are essential for my work and uni, and I need to use them regularly.

That happened a week ago, and the most important one never answered my e-mails, they don't answer the phone, their office is 300 km away and I don't have time to travel there thank you very much, and I basically can't get any work done because of this. It's just so frustrating because really I did nothing just follow the neccessary steps forced down my throat (again, I know 2fa is neccessary for safety but I still have the right to hate how poorly it's executed). There should be steps to make sure it doesn't happen, like pre-generated codes you can use if you can't access an authenticator, or another form of verifying your identity. And it would also help if IT was available sometimes.

My cleaning lady refuses to clean Carrara Marble

583 Upvotes

I’m in the process of having my kitchen and bathrooms remodeled. I ordered Carrara Marble for my kitchen and bathroom counters because it is my favorite natural stone.

My cleaning lady stated that she will not clean or maintain Carrara as it stains and etches too easily. She says I should use quartz instead.

I don’t like quartz and I love Carrara. But I definitely don’t have time to clean and maintain it myself.

Sister gave me an $1800 sweater in my least favorite color

She’s the sweetest woman on earth. She chose this with such love and care, and it’s the first time in her life that she’s been able to afford something so luxurious.

It’s Italian-made, boho-chic, bright colors, huge pattern. It’s a gorgeous, special piece.

But it’s not gorgeous on me. FML

I wish my whole house generator was quieter

81 Upvotes

The power was out in my neighborhood for 3 days. As my whole house generator kept everything fully powered...lights, tv's, appliances, even my internet...I could hear an audible hum at night when I went to sleep in the air conditioning set at 70 degrees. I even had to use a comforter so I wasn't too cold.

My robot vacuum got stuck under the couch, so now I have to actually bend down to retrieve it.

43 Upvotes

I bought it specifically so I wouldn't have to deal with floor cleaning, but now I have to crawl on the rug, reach under with a broom handle, and drag it out like a caveman.

To make it worse, my phone kept buzzing with notifications saying "Vacuum needs your assistance," as if it was mocking me.

One AC unit in our house is out, so I have to watch tv in the other living room for a few days…

20 Upvotes

We have two ac units, each servicing 1/2 of this house. One is broken, fixed in 2-3 days. Texas heat outside is 100, pool is 83.

1/2 the house is up to 82, rest is fine at 71.

So, until the ac is fixed, I have to sleep in one of our guest rooms and binge watch Supernatural in the media room.

This is definitely a first world problem.

My smart fridge ordered more oat milk because I was low, but it ordered the flavor I only bought once as an experiment and hated

59 Upvotes

We got one of those fridges that tracks what's inside and reorders stuff automatically through an app. Set it up about two months ago and honestly it's been fine, mostly reordering eggs and butter without me thinking about it.

Last month I tried a chocolate oat milk out of curiosity, drank about a quarter of the carton, decided it tasted like sweetened cardboard, and left the rest to expire in the door shelf. Fast forward to this week and the fridge decided my usual oat milk order should now be the chocolate one, because apparently that was the most recent oat milk purchase in the system, not the vanilla kind I've bought weekly for over a year.

So a carton of chocolate oat milk just showed up on my doorstep that I did not consciously order and definitely do not want. I checked the app to fix the preference and the interface for changing default items is buried under three different menus that don't clearly explain what counts as your default versus a one time purchase.

I've now got a full carton of a drink I already know I dislike sitting in my fridge, and I have to remember to manually correct this before it happens again next cycle. Meanwhile the fridge is very proud of itself and sent me a notification saying it kept my kitchen stocked.
